Heartbreaking photos of friends and students who need to be rescued are circulating on Facebook and Instagram. On Friday afternoon, I finally got a yes from a friend in Missouri City, just southwest of Houston. Our students’ safety is paramount, but the state must get the kids back in school as soon as possible. We’ll call, Google chat or Skype students if that’s what it takes to have class. We’ll help to build a makeshift school so our students can continue to learn.
